Game Troubles

[steff]

I have a couple of game troubles...

Theme Hospital
Downloaded from here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A6YESNJ6).
I planned to show you a screenshot of it here... but for some reason it won't take a screenshot (Because it's DOS based?).
Basically what's wrong is that the screen is all distorted. I don't know how else to explain it and I understand that that probably isn't enough for you to go on (thus why I posted a link to it so you could check it for yourself...it'll only take about 10 minutes to Downlaod at the most ;) )

I've tried going through the .exe's properties and changing it to run in different compatibilities and the like. I also have DOSBox-0.65 but I don't know how to run it through that.

I get a run time error, observe:

How do I fix it? :P

Steff..I had tons of problems trying to run the old XCOM games in dos but DosBox worked like a champ... I found some simple instructions on using DosBox and how to set it up here..

As for the second problem..lemme see what I can dig up..


Boy their forum site was REAL helpful *rolls eyes*. It looks like their standard answer is to completely uninstall than reinstall the software.

Done that twice :( last night I also emailed the guy who made CW3... no reply yet.

It never worked. :( It never prompted me for "Z:\" so that I could type in my game directory thing.

No chance, why pay when I can get it for free? :orign:
